TIME CAPSULE FOUND IN CORNERSTONE
Dixon: In 1922 a time capsule was sealed into the cornerstone of the St. Ignatius Ursuline's School, which many Tribal members attended. Recently a few local citizens became concerned over the possible loss of the capsule once they saw the cornerstone had been removed.
At the last regular Tribal Council meeting, the Council asked the Chairman, Harold Mitchell, Jr., who has undertaken the demolition of the school, what had happened to the stone and capsule. Chairman Mitchell explained that someone must have known that something was inside and had knocked the stone owt before he was able to get to it, and they left it sitting out. He said he had the stone in his garage and had possession of the capsule. The Council requested that he give the stone and capsule to the Church Historical Museum in St. Ignatius, and Mitchell agreed to do so.
